Destination guide

A Kiama vacation blows the competition out of the water

Best known for its dramatic coastal blowholes, Kiama's got a lot more going for it than just exhibitionist sea caves. Fancy a coastal bike ride? A rainforest hike? A mountain drive? How about catching the big waves on the surf beaches, or getting wet and wild in a waterpark? Whatever your preference, Kiama vacation rentals will serve it up on a plate. And that's before we even get onto the town itself. Just a couple of hours' drive from Sydney, it's full of historic buildings, cute galleries and shops, and has some of the friendliest pelicans you'll find anywhere about.

Things to do

There she blows! It's Kiama's major attraction

With Kiama vacation rentals, you might just be in for a soaking. Ask anyone what the biggest draw in these parts is, and chances are they'll tell you it's the Kiama Blowhole – a sea cave that sends jets of water shooting 25 metres into the air. It's got a baby sister too, known as Little Blowhole. To learn more about the history of this spectacular stretch of coast, head to the Pilot's Cottage Museum, next to the old Kiama lighthouse. And if you didn't get wet enough at the blowhole, then check out the water park at Jamberoo Action Park.

Activities

Kiama's gonna give you on a surfin' safari...

Rashies at the ready, because Kiama's surfing beaches are up there with the best of them. And with Kiama vacation rentals, the activities on dry land are pretty tempting too. For the real jungle experience, head up to Budderoo National Park, where you can pretend you're Indiana Jones as you explore the waterfalls, boardwalks and suspension bridges of Minnamurra Rainforest. Mountain bikers will want to get their wheels rolling down the coastal cycle path to Cathedral Rocks, while for world-beating views of the surrounding countryside, take a hike or a scenic drive up to the Saddleback Mountain lookout.

Weather

Blowhole catch you out? Don't worry, you'll soon dry off

Kiama's got the sort of climate that'll look after you all year round. Summers are hot, but that fresh coastal air means the heat rarely gets too overpowering. Also, perhaps you've heard there are some blowholes around that will be happy to cool you off with a dousing. Come winter, temperatures remain pretty mild, and it might be a good time to get your boots on and explore the hiking trails. Spring tends to be the driest time of year, while if you're looking for a bit of tropical authenticity, you could hit those rainforest walkways in the slightly wetter autumn.

Natural highlights

More natural wonders than you can fit in a pelican's bill

When it comes to landscapes, Kiama vacation rentals like to tick a lot of boxes. You've got surf beaches down by the ocean, rugged coast formations at Cathedral Rocks, mountain views from Saddleback, and spectacular waterfalls in the rainforest over at Budderoo National Park. Then of course there are the blowholes – sea caves that send up great fountains of spray when the waves hit them right. It all adds up to something a bit special. There's even a little gang of avian celebrities, in the form of the greedy pelicans that often hang around the harbour.
